Q & A

Since a moral rule like, “don’t steal,” can lead to immorality, as in not stealing to feed your child when that’s the only option, is it possible we need a new way to define morality? Can morality be permanently codified in words, or should we use words only to point at what is beyond the definitions, and alter the definitions as often as we come to understand new things about the world and our role in it?
